Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's campaign released a statement after Tuesday's Republican presidential debate in Manchester, New Hampshire:

"Tonight, Rudy Giuliani once again demonstrated why he should be the next President of the United States. Whether it's staying on offense in the terrorists' war against us, securing our nation's borders or keeping our economy strong, Rudy knows what it takes to make government accountable and efficient. He is the strong, optimistic and proven leader our country needs during these challenging times."

I'm sure the families of fire fighters and first responders whose remains were allowed by Guliani to be put into concrete to fill potholes, feel differently.

Guliani is not a 911 hero, he took advantage of the tragedy. He has been caught lying about prior knowledge to the buildings collapsing. He is purely evil and should be tried for treason not promoted to president of the USA

Mr. Giuliani did not make his case for me. The only thing he does is to be a war fascist. We had 4 years of that type of presidency already. In 1933 Germany elected a leader very similar to your candidate with grave results to the whole world. If he wants to make government accountable he should not even think of pardoning Mr. Libby. An accountable government is represented by separation of powers and respect to the constitution. Your candidate will not stop at anything to usurp power as it was done in 2000.

Rudy looked sickly on stage tonight. He needs some makeup or something. Rudy offers a well-rehearsed feel good "us against them" mantra but unfortunately he rarely if ever answers the questions. We can do better.

Google Giuliani & Co. (Rudy's own company) and see that he has what it takes to become president. His client list is very interesting...foreign companies with interest in American projects, News Corp (Fox News' parent company), and also his $50M in earnings off 9/11 speeches and the like...just what we need in the White House.

I agree with the last poster...Giuliani is an idiot. If I hear one more time "offense versus defense", I think I will regurgitate. His answers are not substantive. They are slogans.

Problem isnt Giuliani. It's the American public. We have gotten to a point where we respond only to slogans. There is no debate. There is no tolerance for alternate views. Its red vs blue, and this is what Giuliani caters to.

A lot of "scare America" tactics but no substance. All the Democrats have to do is put up a poster of Rudy with his former police commissioner, Bernard Kerick. His performance on 9/11 was not anything extrodianary. Any mayor would have held news conferences. Ask the firefighters and their families what they think of Rudy.
Not much!

After listening to him, it is clear, Giuliani will turn the US into a gigantic prison, because civil liberties will be scarified more and more under his administration, wars will be started all over the world by the US under Guiliani, stay away from warlord Guiliani.

Rudy you lied!!! Bald faced lied! You said that you were for upholding the law.....I heard you and have you on tape saying so. YOU LIED!

"Immigration politics have similarly harmed New York. Former mayor Rudolph Giuliani sued all the way up to the Supreme Court to defend the city’s sanctuary policy against a 1996 federal law decreeing that cities could not prohibit their employees from cooperating with the INS. Oh yeah? said Giuliani; just watch me. The INS, he claimed, with what turned out to be grotesque irony, only aims to “terrorize people.” Though he lost in court, he remained defiant to the end. On September 5, 2001, his handpicked charter-revision committee ruled that New York could still require that its employees keep immigration information confidential to preserve trust between immigrants and government. Six days later, several visa-overstayers participated in the most devastating attack on the city and the country in history."

I'll bet it's not the only thing you lied about tonight! If we were stupid enough to elect you President, you would open the flood gates to all the illegal aliens, you are PRO AMNESTY YOU LIAR!!!

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
